Chad Jennings reports that George Kontos will likely need Tommy John surgery after feeling tightness in his forearm. This could end up being a blessing in disguise for the Yanks, because Kontos is now likely to slide through the Rule 5 Draft untouched in the offseason if they decide to leave him off the 40-man roster. Still sucks though.
Triple-A Scranton was rained out. They’re going to make this one up when they play Rochester at the end of the season.
Double-A Trenton (5-3 loss to Erie)
Austin Krum: 0 for 5, 1 K – 0 for his last 11
Reegie Corona & Chris Malec: both 1 for 5 – Corona K’ed once, Malec twice
Jorge Vazquez & Justin Snyder: both 0 for 3, 1 BB – Vazquez was hit by a pitch & scored a run … Snyder K’ed & committed a pair of fielding errors
Jesus Montero: 2 for 3, 2 R, 2 HR, 3 RBI, 1 BB – 11 for his last 30 (.367) with three homers & three doubles
Jack Rye: 0 for 2, 2 BB – up from Tampa to fill out a thin roster
Marcos Vechioacci: 1 for 3, 1 BB
Jeremy Bleich: 5.1 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 3 BB, 4 K, 1 WP, 4-8 GB/FB – AA debut
Kevin Whelan: 2.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 3-1 GB/FB
High-A Tampa was rained out. I’m guessing they’ll play two at some point in the next few days since this is their last series of the year with Sarasota.
Low-A Charleston (13-3 loss to Greenville)
Jose Pirela, Ray Kruml, Abe Almonte & Garrison Lassiter: all 1 for 4 – Kruml scored a run & K’ed … Almonte stole a base, scored a run & drove one in … Lassiter drove in two & K’ed
Corban Joseph: 0 for 4, 1 E (throwing)
Melky Mesa: 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI – league leading 17th jack
Taylor Grote & Chase Weems: both 1 for 3 – Grote drew a walk & K’ed twice … Weems K’ed
Brett Marshall: 4.1 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 5-5 GB/FB, 1 E (pickoff) – 18 ER allowed in his last 14.1 IP
Brad Rulon: 1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, 0-1 GB/FB
Charles Nolte: 1.2 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, 3-2 GB/FB
Garrett Patterson: 1.1 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 WP, 1-2 GB/FB – long time, no see … this is his first game since Sept. 9th, 2007 after dealing with a foot injury … in case you’re not familiar with him, he’s a lefty with a big power arm but little control
The Short Season Staten Island is in extras and I don’t feel like waiting around, so I’m going to cop out and just point you to the box score. Arodys Vizcaino had another solid performance.
The Rookie GCL Yanks were washed out as well. They’ll play a pair tomorrow.
